EFL TPACK: The Theory
Abstract
This chapter focuses on EFL teachers' TPACK. First, the types of knowledge that are important in pedagogy and how these categories of knowledge and their related frameworks can differentiate models of teacher education are discussed. In the following, some models of teacher education, their characteristics, and their differences and similarities are introduced. Then the rationale of developing EFL TPACK to subsume standard TPACK is discussed and the need to EFL TPACK is addressed. The rationale includes two important characteristics of EFL teachers that can impact the use and adaptation of technology in the process of teaching: computer attitudes and ICT literacy. How these two constructs are important in empowering a teacher to use ICT in instruction and how they can hinder technology-based teaching and learning are discussed. Some related models and constructs associated with these two attributes are described as well. In the last part, the construct EFL TPACK is comprehensively introduced and each component is described in detail and support/evidence from the literature is provided.
